Kernel Exploit Hunting and Mitigation
Explore kernel exploit hunting and mitigation techniques in this conference talk from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Dive into the world of cyberwarfare and multi-level attacks, focusing on Windows kernel vulnerabilities exploited by APT attackers and botnet operators. Examine real-world examples of malware families utilizing kernel exploits, including Dyre, Turla, and Necurs. Learn how to proactively discover effective samples with kernel exploits through dynamic analysis systems. Gain insights into analyzing kernel exploits that bypass HIPS detection and prevention methodologies. Witness a demonstration of a prototype tool for effective kernel exploit mitigation. Benefit from the speakers' extensive experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and Windows kernel vulnerability research.
